Olli Salumeria was founded by two friends—Olli Colmignoli, a fourth-generation salami maker from Rome, and Chip Vosmik, an American entrepreneur—who wanted to make cured meats that were as melt-in-your-mouth delicious as the ones you get in Italy. Six months after curing their first cut of meat, the inaugural Olli Salumeria coppa was ready. The response, says Vosmik, “has surpassed anything that I had envisioned. Whether it’s a compliment from a famous chef or a Facebook comment from a new, enthusiastic customer, it’s really satisfying to know that we’re making people happy!”
